    Qualcomm Nuvia vs Apple Mx

    Screen recording in 4K on M1 MacBook Pro?

    I know that OBS allows you to record screen in 4K as long as you have 4K monitor but OBS is not available officially for Apple silicon. Anyone knows what's the alternative? I just want to be able to record screen in 4K resolution on Apple Silicon. Thanks

    Is Playing Roblox on M1 Bad?

    Roblox isn't optimized for M1 yet, so it's using Rosetta. Whenever I use it there's no frame drops or anything, its just gets warm and the battery drains a bit faster. All I'm wondering is if its doing any damage to the computer while gaming with rosetta. Thanks,

    MacBook Pro 2021 - it's not just how it performs, it's how it feels

    So, after my first MBP came with a broken screen, a few days ago, I finally got a new one. 16", base model, 1Tb SSD, Space Gray. And I am amazed how good it is. But it's not just about the amazing performance. Or the insane battery life. What really amazed me is how well rounded this computer...

    M1 Max Issues in Resolve and FCP

    While the M1 Max MacBook Pro is remarkable in a lot of ways, including noiseless operation and a chassis that remains astonishingly cool even when performing demanding tasks, apps that open with lightning rapidity and blazingly quick rendering times, its suitability as a video editing...

    Question regarding clarification of shared RAM on M1 Machines.

    Recently I read that ram is shared between the CPU and GPU on M1 processors. Does this mean that some of my ram will be allocated to driving an external display? Wouldn’t the GPU have its own dedicated vram so that it wouldn’t cut into ram allotted to the cpu? 32GB of ram is what I currently...

    Config: Base MBP 14-inch (512 SSD, 16gb RAM, M1 Pro) Like many of you, I was anxiously awaiting the new 14-inch MBP with Apple silicon.

    iPad Pro Got an unusual Apple Sticker (scratched)

    Today I bought an ipad pro m1, maybe if discussing the device is not special. But the funny thing is, I got a broken apple sticker, like it was scratched by a sharp object. I've bought Apple devices several times, but this incident taught me a lesson that no matter what brand, mistakes will...

    All these apps in my application list changed into the "kind" of "Apple Silicon" today. They were still "universal" the other day. Can any one tell me what happened to these apps? Why did they change into "Apple Silicon" all of a sudden? Is this a Bug?I am on macOS 11.5.2, and have applied no...

    Is an Apple Silicone MacBook the right option for my friend?

    I have a friend who is looking for a new laptop. They find the MacBook appealing and for what it's worth, the ARM MacBooks are very good for what they are. One issue that's come up is that she likes to play League of Legends as well as streaming her gameplay on Twitch. Would she be able to...

    The Elimination of RAM

    I’m sure I’m a bit misguided in my thinking, since I can’t find a good discussion about it on the inter-webs. Is Apple looking to completely eliminate the need for RAM with its Mx silicon? Specifically, the end goal would be to produce a computer with 0bytes of RAM but every bit as efficient...

    Protection for new AS Macs

    Hey all, with the new shape and dimensions for the pro laptops, old cases and covers won’t fit. If you plan on protecting your new Mac when it arrives, what case/sleeve you will use? Any idea on how long the manufacturers take to produce them? I can’t imagine they are rushing like with new...

    MBP 14"/16" 32GB Buyers: M1 Pro or M1 Max

    So, the new MBP's are looking pretty amazing, but let's be honest, they're also pretty expensive, particularly if you need more RAM or a faster SOC. Given that it's $400(!) to go from 16GB -> 32GB of ram, bringing the total cost to an eye watering $2399 for the 14" model with the base M1 Pro SOC...

    M1 MacBook Pro Review - One Year Later

    I originally intended on publishing this review to a blog I normally write for, but someone there already bought and published one page review of the M1. So, my 'thorough' review ended up in limbo. I decided to share it with the community. My thoughts are based on initial experiences, but...

    Why an iMac or Mac Mini when you can buy a MacBook Pro and dock it?

    I have got an iMac 27 5k late 2014 which accomplished a lot of work until today. Two months ago I replaced my almost no used MacBook Pro 2016 with a MacBook Pro M1. And now I wanted to replaced my desktop old 5k iMac with someone new, but the display size and resolution is very important to me...
